Framing a Mirror with MirrorMate: Giveaway

{Giveaway is Closed}

The winner is #112:  Shari!  Congrats, Shari, you have been emailed!

With all the things to update in this house, it’s been fun to get some help from MirrorMate on my guest bath mirror.  You know how it goes.  Those large plate glass mirrors that are all over the place, with not a lot of personality.  I have framed my own before and they turned out nice, but it’s also great to have a professional frame go up on a mirror too.  It totally transforms the space.

I’ll do another complete post on this bathroom later, but wanted to share the MirrorMate opportunity with all of you now.

I got to choose a frame from MirrorMate and they shipped it to me to install.  And installing a frame from MirrorMate is very easy.  For a large frame, you will need two people to help hold it in place, but the frames go together very easy and fast.

frame from MirrorMate

It comes in a box in 4 pieces.  Once you measure your existing mirror, you send those measurements to MirrorMate, along with your frame choice and they will cut the frame to exactly fit your mirror.  The frame sits on top of the mirror, overlapping just slightly to completely cover the mirror.

putting frame together

Lay out all 4 pieces on a protective rug or cardboard.

add inserts and glue

It comes with glue and corner anchors that go in each corner of the frame to hold it all together.  Notice on the frame above, there is double sided extremely sticky tape that is already on all the pieces of frame.  Once you get ready to put the frame up, there are also cardboard corners that help with setting the mirror in place before the tape is pulled and ready to adhere.

wipe excess glue

Once it’s glued in the corners, simply wipe off excess glue and let it dry well overnight and then it’s ready to put up on your mirror.

My dad came over to help me get it in place, cause with a mirror this big, you really need 2 people to hold it.  Pull off the protective paper from the sticky tape all the way around and simply place it over the mirror.  It’s stuck and will not come off!  There are also protective cardboard corner pieces to help with installation too.

Tribeca Frame

Now you’ve got a beautiful framed mirror.

Yippee!!  MirrorMate is giving away to ONE of my readers a mirror frame of your own.  I’m so happy to be working with them and to get a beautiful frame for my bathroom.  This one is called Tribeca and it’s a gorgeous black finish with small beads of silver all around the inside edge.  Perfect complement to my bathroom.

I’ll show you the whole bathroom soon too!

In the meantime, leave a comment telling me which bathroom you’d love a frame for and which style and color you think you’ll pick?!  Go to MirrorMate to check out all the styles and come back here and leave a comment. 

That’s it!  I’ll choose a winner in a few days.

Note:  I received a free mirror frame from MirrorMate, but was not paid to do this post.

    I have wanted a kit like this for soooooo long! Gramercy Aged Bourbon would be perfect for my master bedroom bath mirror. The carving is beautiful the color is perfect for the tiles.
    Now that I see how easy these mirrors are to put up I want one even more~ Thank you for the chance to win this and freshen my tired bathroom!

    I really love how this transformed your mirror . I would probably choose something in walnut. I have a huge mirror in my guest bath that would really look good with a Mirror Mate! Love your house! Enjoy the holidays!

    I’m torn. I love the Portage Pebbled White for a seaside cottage feel. But I also like the Venetian Bronze Wave. Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!

    Tough choice, but I think I’d pick Providence Oiled Bronze for my master bath. It’s a large mirror and that frame would add a lot to the space.

    Oh, the Bellemeade Traditional Cherry frame would be great in my main floor’s bathroom. That is the bathroom that my family and friends most often use. I hope I win!

    Rhoda,

    I loved Lexington Polished Silver. I felt it was modern and would go with the plain white tiles I have. I am also in love with anything silver. I would be honored to be chosen to win this.

    I really like the soho back frame. I would use it on an old floor length mirror in my foyer that belonged to my husbands grandmother.

    Gosh, I wanted them all! I think I decided on Gramercy Martini for my Master Bath. We’re in the midst of replacing rotten siding on the side of our house and are trying to update as much of the inside as possible.

    I think I would choose the Cherokee Espresso Walnut frame. We actually have been wanting to do this with our Master Bathroom. We didn’t know you could by anything like this! Thought we would have to hire someone to do it!

    I framed out my master bathroom mirror and am getting ready to do it in my half bathroom, so I could really use a MirrorMate frame! I think Broadway Brushed Chrome would be perfect for that room!
